Duskkit nodded, and made sure to remember the stinky smell. She listened carefully as Elmshadow listed various herbs and their uses. Burnet… Marigold… Dock leaf… Poppy seed… She waited for Elmshadow to continue.

**Elmshadow**
Brushing the herbs to the side, Elmshadow pulled the cobwebs out. Deftly tearing off a small bundle, he placed the wispy puff in front of Duskkit. Cobwebs were sticky and manipulating them didn't come naturally. Over time, many warriors grew to use them as second-nature. A warrior who didn't know how to have some level of competence with cobwebs was risking far too much out in the forest as not all wounds wound allow a trip back to camp. But coming by that experience naturally was a risk. "Cobwebs are sticky and they're absorbant but they don't always stay together and go where you want them to. Do you know what they are used for?"
He paused briefly but moved on, "If you can get a wound that is bleeding a lot patched up before getting back to camp, it makes my job that much easier and your chances that much better. What I want you to do seems simple enough. Make a ball." He sat down and waited to watch the kit's attempts. There wasn't much to say, there were a few tips and tricks that the medicine cat could maybe offer if she was struggling too much but the real test was simply getting her used to touching it and manipulating it. Most of the technical stuff came from nothing more than paws on experience.

Shadowfur watched her, his interest piqued as she opted to re-shape the mud instead of packing the hole. It was rather smart, since it conserved resources while solving the problem. Maybe ShadowClan’s future isn’t going to be clouded by idiots, after all.
When she finished, Shadowfur scooped the mud and threw it away. He did not look where he was throwing it, and it promptly flew in Mirehound’s direction. “Well done, Moonkit. You’ve passed the life lessons class. If you want help with anything you’ve learned, you’re welcome to seek me out. Dismissed.”

Marsh’Paw poked his head in. “Hello? I’m here to clean out the nests.” He announced, not wanting to startle anyone. He brought in some moss he had gathered.
(OOC: Please interact with him and tell him if your nest needs replacing, he is here for a punishment.)

~ Dogkit sat in his nest flicking his tail back and forth watching all the other kits play around. Dogkit didn't have the time nor patience to do such a thing. The black tom stood up and stretched for a moment before heading over to a unoccupied mossball. Hm. Maybe he could practice his crouching. That'll get some type or praise from his parents. Dogkit got into what was a sloppy crouch. The tom growled a little before trying to do the crouch over and over again not paying attention to the mossball anymore. ~

Duskkit nodded as Elmshadow continued. She made a ball, as the medicine cat intended, shaping and packing it like she would a mossball. “Tada!” Duskkit squeaked,”I did it, right?”

The apprentice timidly padded into the nursery to check on Rosekit until she saw Dogkit. The little kit was pounding on a mossball. It made her chuckle and she smiled. “Do you want some tips?” she whispered then froze. She spoke. She actually spoke! She smiled at the kit. “I’m not the best at these stuff, but I can help you!” she mewed thoughtfully. “Are you excited to be a warrior?” it was working! Her voice was back!

~ Dogkits sudden focus was broke when he heard a cat speaking to him. Apart of him wanted to just ignore whoever it was and work on his crouch but then the offer tips reached his ears. Tips = Better. Better = Praise. Dogkit got out of his crouch looking up at the apprentice. Oh not the best? That made Dogkit second guess on weather or not to accept this offer. Dogkit decided this was better then nothing. Dogkit completely ignored the warrior comment.
"Tips please." ~

The small black apprentice gulped as the little kit stopped. It seemed like eternity until the kit spoke. A blunt answer. Hardly warming or thankful. She froze. Uh..what should she do? Her mind went blank and she stuttered. “Uhh..uh..” she mumbled. “So. You have to tuck your hindquarters in so you can get more power into your jump.” she mewed, gesturing to the kit’s hind legs. ”a-also keep your body low and your tail straight.” she stuttered.

"Try a diffrent approach, keep your paws under your shoulders." FeatherStone interrupted, watching the young kittens feeble efforts to crouch

Shadowfur stretched, arching his back as he did so. He had slept through the day, like a proper ShadowClan cat, and was now out to teach a kit lesson. Moonkit had been a very good and respectful student (apart from a mild amount of ShadowClanner attitude), so he hoped Spiritkit would be the same.
"Spiritkit!" he called, looking around. "Time for your lesson!"
